Hanging out of her third-story apartment’s windows, photographer Elizabeth Kahane has captured intimate and surreal images of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade since the late 1990s.
When photographer Elizabeth Kahane’s husband asked where in New York they should live following their engagement in 1998, she had a very specific requirement for their marital home: A view of the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. “It’s so funny, looking back, why it was so important to me and why that was my answer. But trust me, it was,” said Kahane, a self-professed parade enthusiast, on a video call. “I love it so much.
“I have a separate room, so I’d hang out the window there and then run back in , because I’m just north of them, to announce who’s coming next,” she explained. Some shots were taken from inside the apartment, with kids seen enjoying the surreal view of parade characters — from Sonic the Hedgehog to Pikachu, gleefully riding a Poké Ball-inspired sled — looming outside. They weren’t the only ones getting excited. “I’m like a child,” Kahane said of her enthusiasm on Thanksgiving mornings.
